chapter 4197: out of realm

"it's time," said carter, and got up. i got up with him.
it's time to leave this realm.
the nervousness i was feeling had increased tenfold, but i didn't dare to show it and put a confident smile on my face with excitement.
i looked around and saw the stores that were open till now begin to close.
i had finished shopping last time a few minutes ago before returning to carter and his group. they, too, had done a little bit of last-minute shopping.
we walked toward the gate, like many others doing.
i even took out the beacon and placed it on my chest, which felt as heavy as the mountain.
it could become my freedom or the shackle in the next few minutes.
soon, i reached the gate and stepped out of it. feeling the powerful energies of this realm.
i have experienced so much in this realm, from the news that changed everything to the breakthrough that gave me such power.
now, i want to return to the real world.
i stepped out of the compound, ready for any attack. people might be acting, and some might even guess my identity, but nothing of that sort happened.
i didn't feel any change aside from the energy. the emotion in the people's eyes remained unchanged.
it made me relieved as i do not believe people could hide their emotions to the current level when there is something delicious as forbidden power is at stake.
still, i remained cautious. ready for anything.
soon, all the people came out of the compound and waited. the gates could pull them at any time.
seconds passed and turned into minutes, but everyone remained where they were.
i could see the questions appearing in the eyes of a few people, but they didn't open their mouths to speak. they will if people don't disappear soon.
some people aren't just waiting.
a prime from hegaris placed a hand on the new prime from tor's shoulder. he begins to scan her heavily, without caring for her privacy.
this plan gives me an explainable identity that no one could doubt. the identity i had further consolidated with the steps i took.
so, if i am able to survive the welcoming party, i will be relatively safe.
i tried to calm myself. it was impossible, but still, i tried to do it as much as i could. i need to
be ready to face what i am going to do in a few minutes.
"will you be able to control your energy?" asked carter.
i was so busy in my chaotic thoughts that i didn't notice his question for a moment.
"yes, i could control it for a few minutes when i need to," i replied.
my aura is unstable. going high and low, but i could control it. of course, i could; the unstable aura is an act.
though i didn't show him, but flashed him a confident smile.
another minute passed when the first beacon from rhazon lit up. it covered the woman, and
she disappeared.
i could see the relief appearing on the faces of a few, including me.
the next moment, another person disappeared and then another before it was carter's turn.
"see you on the other side, arys," he said and disappeared.
i watched people from rhazon disappearing till it was my turn. the beacon that carter gave activated and covered me with its energy
as it did, my energy became stable, and a moment later, i disappeared.
appearing in the tunnel.
i become careful as always. i will take risks anywhere, but not in this place. this is a place that will kill without leaving any chance of survival.
this time, there won't be a professor coming to save me if i find myself tossed in the space
sea.
it lasted for a while before the darkness appeared in front of me. it lasted for a fraction of a second before everything brightened up.
